Straw Castle Design "Strike First" Patch

We're not even a full month into 2014 and three new woodblock prints and two patches have already been added to the Straw Castle Design store inventory. The prints continue Derrick's "Classic Cocktail" series, and both patches feature beasts as fierce as the artist's work ethic.

The "Strike First" patch is now among my top three favorite patches from the brand (sharing that distinction with "Pale Riders" and "Stag Force"). The 5" width makes it Straw Castle Design's largest patch to date, and I can assure you no amount of detail has been sacrificed for size (both patches arrived in the mail last week). Black, silver gray and bronze threads succeed in making the design jump off the white embroidered background. Snag one for your jacket or vest over in the Straw Castle Design Etsy store.
